We Raised Fill Rates From 70% To 94%

Kokua has a proven track record of immediately increasing fill rates for districts and partner schools. We were recently asked to take over substitute management and provision for a district with 21,000 students across two cities. We finalized the partnership in late November, and launched in January. In 6 weeks we staffed up and launched services for the entire district. Prior to Kokua, the fill rate in the district’s cities was 70% and 83%. We immediately increased fill rates, achieving a second-semester fill rate of 94% and 96%, respectively. We maintain even higher fill rates for this district today.

98% Fill Rate for Last Minute Absences

Kokua delivers certainty and reliability, for both absences requested in advance, as well as those requested day-of. An example of this can be seen in the partnership we have ​with a charter network in the Houston area serving over 13,000 students. We are their exclusive provider of substitutes guest teachers, and paraprofessionals. From January through June we were able to achieve a fill rate of 98.3% for assignments requested less than 24 hours in advance, and a fill rate of 99.8% for assignments requested more than 24 hours in advance.

Helped a Major U.S. District Fill Tough Absences

Kokua recently partnered with a major district serving over 735,000 students. Through our partnership, we supplemented the district's existing sub pool to tackle hard-to-fill absences, an area in which they were having trouble. We were able to seamlessly integrate with their existing sub-system, and achieve a fill rate of 99% for the absences we were supporting.
